Chapter 52: The Birthday Banquet Turmoil
"I heard that you've been sending Zimo out to find out what you've been doing recently, but you've met the woman you like?" Mrs. Song doesn't worry about anything now, and Shen Mingzhu also has a child in her belly, so she is left to worry about Song Chenyu's marriage.
"Naturally, no, how long has my son come back, and where did he come from?" Song Chenyu denied it again and again.
"If not, I think Shen Mingyu is good, originally I also thought that the daughters of the Shen family were not very suitable, but now it seems that the daughters of the Shen family are all good, and some small problems are harmless." Mrs. Song thought about it and felt more and more good, since it was Shen Mingzhen's eldest sister, it was not much worse to think about it.
"Mother, where did you go, I'm not interested in Miss Shen." Song Chenyu was a little helpless, although he did like Miss Shen, and he also intended to guide his mother to think over there, but he didn't expect his mother to think that it was Miss Shen.
"That's it, let it be, but at the latest by the end of next year, you must marry me a daughter-in-law back, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." Old Mrs. Song also knew that his son had an idea, and she didn't force it, "Okay, we should also go to the flower hall, it's not good to keep them waiting for a long time." ”
Song Chenyu nodded, as long as he went over with his mother and wanted to come to Shen Mingzhen, there would be no place to hide.
"Sister, why didn't Shen Mingzhen have anything to do, did you help me teach her a lesson?" Meng Huaixiang shook Meng Huaihan's sleeve, if it wasn't for his sister who came with Mo Yan'er, she wouldn't have been bullied like this.
A concubine dared to speak out to humiliate her.
"Xiang'er, why are you still so childlike, it makes people laugh." Meng Huaihan endured her displeasure and comforted her with a smile.
"But they did go too far, and if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be the laughing stock of those people." Meng Huaixiang gritted her teeth, although there were not many people at that time, but if it was spread out, what should she do?
"Then what do you want, if I can teach Shen Mingzhen a lesson, I won't go, you have to know that it is the birthday banquet of the old lady Song of the Marquis of Wu'an, not at home." Meng Huaihan said a little sternly, if Meng Huaixiang has been so ignorant, I am afraid it will be inconvenient to take her out in the future.
"Sister, why are you so fierce all of a sudden." Meng Huaixiang obviously didn't know that Meng Huaihan had fallen behind Shen Mingzhen, and she was still a little unhappy.
Mo Yan'er couldn't look at it, so she pulled Meng Huaihan and scolded Meng Huaixiang: "I know my sister all day long, if you don't talk too much, then others will scold you?" Your sister did her best for you, and now you're blaming her? Meng Huaixiang, I have always been bad to your senses, but I didn't expect you to be so faceless and annoying. ”
"Although Shen Mingzhen's reputation is a little worse, it is many times better than you."
Meng Huaixiang didn't dare to fight back, so she covered her face and ran out.
"Yan'er, this..."Meng Huaihan still looked worried.
"It's such a big person, is it possible that he will get lost?" Mo Yan'er saw that Meng Huaixiang was gone, and she only felt that the air was a little fresher.
"Yan'er seems to appreciate that Shen Mingzhen." Meng Huaihan thought about it and said tentatively.
"If it's compared to your sister, I appreciate it, but if it's compared to you, she doesn't deserve to lift your shoes." Mo Yan'er was a little unhappy when she thought of Shen Mingzhen and Meng Huaihan's-for-tat appearance.
"Let's go inside, the birthday feast should begin." Meng Huaihan received a satisfactory reply and said with a smile.
You asked her why she didn't say good things for Meng Huaixiang? She thinks so much herself, how can she say good things, a brainless waste.
Mrs. Song sat upright, and the male and female guests sat separately, but there was a curtain separating them.
"I won't say much, today I take advantage of the old woman's birthday banquet, and thank you for such a support, to celebrate my old wife's birthday."
"Mrs. Song is not old, she looks only forty years old, if you don't say it, I'm afraid no one will think that the old lady is nearly sixty years old now." Qiu Huanhuan stood up with a cold face, although her face was expressionless, but these words made Mrs. Song feel happy.
"You girl has always been sweet-mouthed, and I don't know how your parents taught you that there is such a sensible girl as you, and the old body wants to snatch it, so why don't I let my monkey go to your parents to change." Mrs. Song joked.
"That's very good, I want a son as heroic as General Song." Qiu Shangshu naturally came, touching his beard and laughing, of course, it would be better if he had a child.
"Mother is very happy to find me a sister during this time, why don't you recognize Miss Qiu as a goddaughter, and someone will accompany you when your son is not in Beijing." Song Chenyu spoke, but his tone was serious.
Qiu Huanhuan, in her previous life, expressed clear love for him, and even chased him to the barracks, where she disguised herself as a woman and became her subordinate, but she was never married.
Now she can't, if she doesn't cut off her mind sooner, I'm afraid she will repeat the mistakes of the past.
Sure enough, Qiu Huanhuan's face stiffened, if it weren't for her lack of expression, I'm afraid her face would be difficult to see to a certain extent at this time.
And Shen Mingzhen looked at the interaction between the two, Huanhuan, Wanwan, Miss Chengqiu's nickname is also called Wanwan?
Song Chenyu is obviously a little special to her, and she, a person who is not good at words, would actually say these words at this birthday banquet, how can it not be a psychology of pleasing her mother-in-law, godbrother and sister, brother and sister.
Thinking of this, Shen Mingzhen picked up the fruit wine on the table and drank it all, this man from the Song Mansion was really untrustworthy.
And Song Chenyu, who saw all this, frowned, why does this girl still drink, what if she drinks too much.
"It seems that this kid in my family has a big opinion on me to recognize my daughter, Mingzhen girl, did you offend this kid of my family somewhere." The old lady Song covered her mouth and continued to joke, and this old man's joke naturally would not attract attention, at most it was just a sigh of Shen Mingzhen's luck.
Shen Mingzhen was stunned, so that Mrs. Song also had the intention of recognizing her as a daughter? Then he was stopped by Song Chenyu, but he took the initiative to say that he wanted the old lady to recognize Qiu Huanhuan as her daughter, thinking that this would be special. But how could there be no such thing in the previous life, and it would be a great honor for anyone to recognize the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion as a godfather.
"The little girl doesn't know, but General Song must be for the good of the old lady." Shen Mingzhen stood up, although she was a little bored in her heart, she couldn't ignore the old lady after all.
Only Qiu Huanhuan has been looking at him since Song Chenyu's words came out, with unwillingness in his eyes.
Soon this episode was sent away, Qiu Huanhuan naturally didn't recognize his relatives, Qiu Shangshu only said that he only had this one daughter, and he didn't want anyone to rob him of his daughter.
And Mrs. Song said a few words of his stinginess and gave up, originally thought that Qiu Huanhuan, the child, had a heart for Chenyu, and it would be fine if she matched a few points, but I didn't expect his little son to be so faceless.
The birthday banquet began, and people began to come forward one by one to congratulate Mrs. Song on her birthday, and relatives like the Shen family went to visit there first to give the birthday gift to Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song is notoriously disliked to receive valuables, so most of them give them something they make themselves, or something new and interesting.
"Miss Shen." Meng Huaihan didn't know when he came behind Shen Mingzhen, and he still had the same smile on his face, but Shen Mingzhen saw some coldness inside.
"What happened to Miss Meng?" Shen Mingzhen didn't know what to do, it stands to reason that Meng Huaihan shouldn't come to her if she wasn't on Mo Yan'er's side at this time.
Meng Huaihan smiled, but it was a little far-fetched: "Miss Shen knows where my sister went, Miss Shen is a relative of this Wu'an Hou Mansion, so she naturally wants to be familiar with each other, can you help me find it."
Shen Mingzhen frowned, this is trying to lure her out?
"I'll send someone to talk to my sister-in-law, this Wu'an Hou Mansion is here, and if you want to come, another sister won't be able to run anywhere."
Shen Mingzhen was naturally reluctant to go with her, not to mention that there had been a dispute between them just now, and besides, there was no need for her.
"Thank you Miss Shen for that, if it weren't for the fear of disturbing Mrs. Song's birthday banquet, I would definitely not have come to tell you this."
Meng Huaihan breathed a sigh of relief.
When Shen Mingzhen had a few more drinks, she heard the little girl stumbling in, and her voice was full of panic: "Oh no, no, no, the young lady and a young lady had a conflict by the pond, and both of them fell into the water."
Sure enough, she knew that she shouldn't have let Shen Mingzhu go back to get things by herself, and Shen Minglan on the side also covered her mouth, her face full of guilt, if it weren't for her, it wouldn't have happened.
It turned out that after Meng Huaixiang cried and ran away, he happened to meet Shen Mingzhu by the pond and went back, this new hatred and old grudge were no one around, and the two of them were both short-tempered, how could they not have a conflict, and they both fell off the pond under the dispute.
Old Mrs. Song only felt that her brain was buzzing, but Shen Mingzhu still had her golden grandson in her stomach, if something happened, what should she do.
The people around were talking about it, but they didn't hear the old lady speak for a long time, but Song Ziyi happened to go to the toilet now.
"Where's the pond? Take me there. Shen Mingzhen stood up in a panic, the concubines who fell into the water and died for no reason in their previous lives seemed to have a source, but the child in Shen Mingzhu's belly was afraid that it was a little dangerous, but I hope it should be in time.
"Yes, yes, bring Mingzhen over, we'll be there soon." Mrs. Song was naturally anxious.
"I'll take her there, and there's a pond behind my study." Song Chenyu frowned, it stands to reason that Shen Mingzhen shouldn't be so anxious about her sister, their relationship has always been bad.
Shen Mingzhen didn't even have time to say thank you, and hurriedly followed Song Chenyu and walked out, in fact, she naturally knew about the pond, she fished out the body of the concubine more than once, thinking about it like this, she felt that her back was gloomy, was it a coincidence or...
The little guy couldn't catch up with the pace of the two of them, of course, it was possible that it was deliberate, and the pond was behind Song Chenyu's study, so the person who found it at the latest must also be Song Chenyu's person.
"Don't worry, the pond is not deep, I think it should just choke on water." Song Chenyu looked at the serious little face and comforted.
"There are lotus flowers planted in the pond, and there must be silt underneath, and my sister has been away for so long, how do I know how long she has been in the pond." Shen Mingzhen's tone was not good, and the pace under her feet accelerated even more.
It must be the fastest to pass through Song Chenyu's yard, but now she doesn't know what the situation is over there.
Passing through Song Chenyu's study, I saw two figures lying flat on the ground, I don't know if they fainted or what.
Shen Mingzhen was relieved to see that there was no large amount of blood on the ground, and quickly helped Shen Mingzhu up.
Fortunately, she choked on the water, and Shen Mingzhen pressed it on her chest a few times, and Shen Mingzhu spit out the water.
Shen Mingzhu pushed Shen Mingzhen away and shouted, "Let go of me, don't hold me."
If it weren't for Song Chenyu's quick catch of Shen Mingzhen, I'm afraid that Shen Mingzhen would be lying on the ground by now.
"Mingzhu, it's me." Shen Mingzhen struggled out of Song Chenyu's arms.
Shen Mingzhu saw the person in front of him clearly, and tears began to fall, this was not the crying that she had pretended to do before, and she was crying, crying and saying: "Why did you come, I was about to die of fright, that Meng Huaixiang pushed me into the pond and she jumped down, holding me desperately, I almost died."
Shen Mingzhen naturally knew that she was frightened, and she didn't care about anything else, so she gently hugged her and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, isn't this okay."
As for Meng Huaixiang on the side, it's not that she doesn't save it, but she knows that Meng Huai's perfume is very good, and now she is naturally pretending.
"Mingzhen, my stomach hurts." After Shen Mingzhu relaxed, he only felt a tingling pain in his stomach, and his heart began to panic again.
Shen Mingzhen saw that a little blood had already flowed out of Shen Mingzhu's lower body, and secretly screamed that it was not good.
Song Chenyu frowned and looked at the appearance in front of him that was seriously inconsistent with his memory, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he rushed into the study and brought a brand-new quilt and a wooden box.
Why didn't you take Shen Mingzhu to the study, first, to avoid suspicion, and secondly, there was a portrait of Shen Mingzhen in the study, but Shen Mingzhen was in too much hurry when she came, and she didn't care.
"This is the silver needle that my grandfather gave me, you can use it." Song Chenyu spread the quilt on the ground, cooperated with Shen Mingzhen to put Shen Mingzhu on it, and took out the silver needle.
"Mingzhen, my child, you must keep my child." Shen Mingzhu took Shen Mingzhen's hand and said with a crying voice, although she was also a little sad when the last child was gone, but after all, it was not what she expected, and now this child did come to her belly with her expectations.
"Relax, don't you believe me? You are so good, the child will not be willing to leave you. Shen Mingzhen tried her best to comfort Shen Mingzhu and let her lie down.
When Mrs. Song and the others hurriedly came, they saw Shen Mingzhu's pale face, and there were bright red blood stains on the quilt she was pressing, and she almost fainted.
